Story

Hi. I need help. I never thought I would be in this position,  but I am. I have 2 kids, a 21 year old son and a daughter who will be 10 in a couple weeks.  I don’t know how I will get her birthday gifts. I had a neck injury and have nerve damage.  I trio and fall too often, my hands go numb frequently and I drop things. My insurance wouldn’t pay the $40/visit i need for a chiropractor so i cant go. I have an enlarged heart and am in heart failure. I have a Dr appointment but I couldn’t get in until the end of September so I don’t have answers, and even though I shouldn’t read things online in place of a dr, I do and I’m terrified.  Because of my nerve damage I am unable to work. I can’t pay my bills. I had to sell my car for Christmas last year, but I couldn’t get it fixed so only a junkyard would take it but it saved Christmas.  I also want to get life insurance before I am ineligible and I can’t come up with a first payment. I know im all over the place but the most urgent things right now are my daughters birthday,  and rent and food. I applied for food stamps.  I had a phone interview set up and then my phone got shut off for non-payment and I missed it. I had to reapply and am waiting for a letter that hopefully has another phone interview date. My landlord has threatened eviction but it is not official yet, as long as I pay. My rent is $1050/month. My electric is approximately 45-50/month.  My phone is 54/month. For my daughters birthday, 200 would be great.  That will cover gifts, cake and her birthday dinner. She always asks for porkchops and apple sauce lol.  A life insurance payment is 35, then 35/month. And I need to save for Christmas.  My daughter’s father is in prison, and has never helped.  My family doesn’t have extra money to help. I’m trying to find a job I’ll be able to do, and I’m also looking into disability and how to apply.  I wake up everyday in a panic until I know if the lights are on and if there’s breakfast for my daughter.  My son has his own apartment, so it’s my daughter and I.
